Description This is a portrait drawn for an art show.
Loosely based on a photograph taken by myself (yay! first time it's completely original, and i'm not giving anyone else credits ok, maybe just for Bailey)

a whole bunch of pencils
can't tell how much time i've spent on it - i really lost track...
24"x18"

**edit** updated with a better photo
**edit2** it won 2nd place in the show (people's choice) and $200, but the money apparently goes to the art program of the school i'm now in. i mean, wtf? i'm even transfering schools...

Great! Well done, I like the contrasts between the hair and shirt. Nice shading of the face also... the wallpaper gives a depth to it. nice!

Nice. I think the nose is drawn really well. And the soft detail of the wallpaper pattern is a nice touch. Good luck with the show.

Wow! This is just gorgeous. I love the variation in tone, from the deep shade of the hair through to the minimal detail on the shirt. Really nice piece of portrait work.
